I had missed the first pics. There are some very nice spots on the layout. Country: France | Posts: 17643 INRAIL Crew Chief Posted - 03/12/2008 :  11:07:12 PM     James. Very nice! Yes, keep us posted.

I don't envy you in doing that. Mike S in MI http://home.comcast.net/~msherbak11 Country: USA | Posts: 6 LVN Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/26/2008 :  09:05:59 AM       Hi James. The layout is lookin great. Here we go again feeding Mike Hamer enthusiasm for B&M empires on the build.

Great layout progress, James. Also...hi to Mike Sherbak who is BM_1566. Hey Mike, I run the 1566 GP7 on my layout! Ah, Chris...you don't know what you're missin' if you're not modelling New England! Note: Chris is a good buddy and fellow Friday Night Group member up here in Ottawa, Canada! James, please do keep those pictures coming. It is always fun seeing a B&M layout on the build!

So it's got high ceilings and generous doors and stairways. I heave a good deal of hay every summer, so I *can* get the modules up two flights myself, but usually my wife or daughter help. I put down a bunch of ties tonight, but no time to take a (probably) dull picture anyway. Now if only my LHS will get off the dime and get me the rail I need, I've got my work cut out for me till I leave for Dortmund right after the Hub Spring Show. Country: USA | Posts: 5446 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 05/05/2008 :  08:12:35 AM       I returned from Germany a week ago, and have a little progress to show: The easterly switches for the 'middle' track are mostly done. And until the LHS gets the bundle of code 83 rail I ordered in January, I can either work on the spurs (code 70 arrived quickly), or start framing the next section (staging behind the post at the left rear).

Country: USA | Posts: 5446 hoggrken Crew Chief Posted - 05/05/2008 :  10:15:49 AM     Hi James...Just catching this thread...Looks like this will be another great B&M themed layout. (What's with you B&M modellers and having nicely done layouts...must be the water they drink...right, Mikey?? ) Seriously, James...looking forward to more updates on your layout progress! Ken. Country: Canada | Posts: 633 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/19/2008 :  1:52:57 PM       Although it's hot in the attic by noon, and I've been waiting for M-E weathered Code 83 rail for 6 months now (LHS tells me 3-5 more weeks), I have some progress to show: I've laid 4 switches on the easterly lead. The spur to the right is spiked Code 55, and henceforward I'll think more seriously when I hear or read "handlaid in Code 55" (or 40, for that matter); I've glued Code 55 down previously (guardrails on the Rowley River bridge), which I find a lot easier. BTW, I resized this picture with DigiKam on FreeBSD, which seems to have avoided the jaggies that M$ Photo Editor gave my earlier images.

Hand laid track on a large layout, is surely an adventure all of it's own. Looking forward to more photos as work progresses.
